Job offers with site C are also published on the BC Hydro, Workbc and Employment Connections websites. The Site C project, proposed since the 1970s and rejected by First Nations for the same period, would create an 83-kilometre reservoir with an area of 9,310 hectares. It could affect up to 337 archaeological sites registered in its identified study area and would affect the contractual rights protected by the First Nations Treaty 8 Constitution. And despite promises that the $10.7 billion megaproject would provide a training space for a new generation of craftsmen, the number of apprentices hired is only a fraction of the goal agreed upon by industry, government and unions. In December 2017, when the NDP government committed to completing Site C, it committed to increasing the number of apprentices, setting up a supervisory board to „give new management direction“ and moving from the BC Liberals open-site model to union policy projects. GSS Civil Works is one of the most important orders for the C-Site project, a hydroelectric power plant built on the Peace River in northeastern British Columbia. Aecon is the managing partner of the consortium and holds a 30% interest in the partnership, which was previously chosen as the preferred supporter of the project. AfDE Partnership`s work volume includes the provision of plant-related work, penstocks, spills and access, as well as related related related work. The project includes the placement of approximately 700,000 cubic meters of mass and reinforced concrete, 34,000 tons of frame and more than 11,000 tons of steel. The plant will contain six generators with a combined capacity of 1,100 megawatts, with corresponding suction structures connected to the plant over 80 m in diameter of 10 m long. For trade and labour applications: Voith Hydro negotiated, through the Construction Labour Relations Association, an employment contract with the Bargaining Council of the British Columbia Building Trades Unions for the supply and installation of turbines and generators for the Site C project.

The third BC Hydro project on the Peace River system, Site C will use water already stored in the Williston Reservoir behind the WAC Bennett Dam. During the first phase of the project, project managers focused on the use of non-union contractors or contractors who work with employer-dominated unions. The results achieved in 2017 by a project auditor were uncertain conditions, a weak work ethic and a strong turnover of staff. But the NDP government had little opportunity to change the way the project was implemented, as most of the contracts were awarded at the time of the acquisition. By mid-2020, a major contract has yet to be awarded, which will include the obligation to use workers represented by unions linked to BC Building Trades. Once completed, the tunnel will also increase the capacity of the existing system to meet the long-term needs of the growing population.
